Fears fruit workers 'surprised by flood' as death toll climbs to six
January 30, 2013
POLICE fear two itinerant fruit farm workers may have been taken by surprise by a fast-flowing flooded creek in the Lockyer Valley, after two men's bodies were found today.
Police have now confirmed that they've found the body of a missing man, a 25-year-old Taiwanese national, upstream from the site of a submerged car at Sandy Creek, where another man had earlier been found.
The grisly find brings the Queensland floods death toll to six.
The body the other man, believed to be a 34-year-old Malaysian national, was found in a silver Toyota Camry in Sandy Creek at Glen Cairn, between Laidley and Gatton, today. The Taiwanese man's submerged white Mitsubishi Magna was discovered in the creek yesterday.
Police believe the pair were traveling separately from Gatton to nearby Mulgowie to work at a farm on Sunday morning, but did not arrive.
